Assets Ready for Review [Email] subscription:

Â

This metadata subscription monitors

all assets in the catalog and sends an email whenever any of the assets have their
metadata changed to the Ready for Review state. This subscription (and any others
using email responses that were created by the installer) uses the email addresses
you enter or email addresses entered as an asset’s required reviewers.

You can modify any of the default automations or create new ones using the
Automations pane. You can control whether these automations are active or not by
selecting or deselecting their On checkboxes (by default, they are all deselected).

Creating Automations

There are two types of automations you can configure with Automation Setup
Assistant: a file system watcher that responds to any file changes to a specified location
and a metadata subscription that responds to specific metadata changes.

In each case, the response of the automation can be to copy a file to another location,
send an email to specified addresses, or archive a file.
